Its My Life & I Can Laugh If I Want To (Chapter 9, page 1 of 5)

Char went to Church. It was pouring rain, and the winds were high. Char knew she shouldn't be out in this, but she just couldn't stand it anymore. At least here she would get a few hours of peace and quiet. The past 2 months had been insane and she felt trapped, unable to move due to finances and no other alternative but to stay put. Answers were needed as much as sanity. Where better to find those answers then at Church, she reasoned.

Her Sunday meetings went well, and Char decided to stop on the way home and grab lunch from the salad bar at the local supermarket. Upon her arrival, who else did she see but Jade and her 5 children? What were they doing? Jade and her kids were soaked to the bone and Jade was pushing a cart full of food, and was running for her car, with all of her children in tow…..and there were POLICE running after her! Oh, there were 2 more cruisers coming around the corner! What did she think she was doing?

As she was watching the ordeal, she felt herself walking over to the officers who now had Jade handcuffed and against one of the cruiser doors. It appeared that Jade had attempted to steal an entire grocery cart full of groceries! What was she thinking? If she needed the food that bad, why didn't she say something to someone?
